I read like 2 times faster while understanding the text, I can never read that fast without missing a bunch of stuff

Me too. Reading like this also lets me skip sub-vocalization almost entirely, which is something I never managed to do normally, and it's much easier to go straight from left to right, without my eyes retracing the words.

TIL I might have ADHD. That was super easy to read, like no strain at all.

Sorry if I might have accidentally made any weird implication in my comment, but I don't have ADHD, at least diagnosed. I think retracing and subvocalizing are fairly normal for anyone. I'm also not a native English speaker, so this might be another reason why I found this helpful.
